I'm using the foam I have on hand.. The Piece Will be about 1m[The width of the trough] and the width of the sheet about 500mm wide.. So each sheet should be easy to manage..- All I need now is some form of media for the net pots I have..

I Picked up the rest of the hydroton tonight and have put in 2 of the bag's.. I'll put the rest in tomorrow after the RedHill Show http://redhillshow.org/ ..

The Ferrets are going to the show.. I'll Try to get some Picture of the show and the Ferret's..

I'm full of idea's.. That need to put into action..One of those idea's is happening right now even If I think it is slight void of what It could be..

Ive never been involved with a DWC bed snow and I have started making one up myself solely for lettuce varieties and free up some room in my GB's. I assumed that we use hydroton for the net pots for media? Or do we need something smaller? Not sure, still learning...

the old fence you can see in my photo's is going, going, nearly all gone..- I'm replacing all of the fence to include a few added bonus's..I'm lifting the fence to be 7ft tall..A tall fence to help keep the sun off the tank..I'm also including a roof over the FT..

- The FT has been partially clad with Bubble foil insulation, to help keep the FT cooler..[Partially north and west/south side]

As part of the fence construction I have a questions Questions..I want to have a frame over the grow-bed area..- what Grade/Colour of Shade cloth should I use over the Area..- Can it be Covered full time.. ie all season's..

If you think shade cloth will be a problem I'll add Bird Netting at a minimum..

I'll post some photo's tomorrow..

The Water levels in the Tank/settlement and sump All stay pretty much the same [except when the small siphon kick's in about 50-100lt's] The pump I have got running is a 8000lt/h pushing to about 1.6m head So I figure I'm Flowing about 4-5k per hour.. So I feel I have a heap of water flowing thru all 3 grow-beds and then back to the sump..[GB#1 flows thru the DWC then off to the Sump]

After I lost all 25 of the original trout order du to not having a stable water temp I have restocked the tank..

The 2 goldfish in the system have been powering along fine..The growth of the plants have been going good.. just needed a bit more of a kick..So on that thread I got 20 more trout to up the level of ammonia in the system.. The Trout Love the big tank..

I also have 50 more Murray Cod in the system aswell..[4-6cm]

All I have to do now is make a decision on what I'm going to deck the system with..

So all in total I have 20 [15-20cm trout] and 50 [4-6cm Cod]They will get small amounts of food till the system start to show some ammonia , then controlled amounts till the system registers no more nitrite's..

I'm at the stage where I can cloth the roof frame over the tank.. I'm going to make sure that I double up on the shade cloth.. It may sound strange but I found this method a good way to cut down on how much rain gets thru..

Next on the agenda is to think about the xtra 2 tank's I want for my gold fish.. They need room to grow.. they are at the stage of out growing their current pond and this will give me an extra area for QT if I need it in the future..

Growth is still slow..

The Mixed leaf salads are doing great..[Beetroot and a few other types']Broad leaf water crest is going overboard and has out grown the stuff that put in 2 weeks earlier..The Celery has been slow to grow.. but has finally shown it heads as it was..

the sugar pea's are growing well.. and the chinese leaks I'm not to sure about..

I'll try to add some photo's Later..
